I guess I kinda got screwed on the tall gene. I’m 5’11. My dad is 5’10. His dad was 6’3. My mom is 5’7. Her dad and 4 brothers are all 6’2 or taller and played offensive and defensive line for Navy…hopefully my son will be blessed.

My son is 19 and has me by about an inch at the moment I’m 6’2” and he’s pushing 6’3”

The pediatrician when he was born said he would be about 6’6” when he’s fully grown so we’ll see.

I’ve told him “you may be bigger than me but I can still take you out” lol

My 22-year-old son is 6’2”, a four inches taller than me. I’m 5’10” and his mom is 5’5”, so I’m pretty sure he got the height from her side of the family. Her uncle is 6’7”.

My son is currently 6" taller than me. Guess my wife had some good height genes.

He is about 2 inches taller and thirty pounds heavier than me. He also benches more than me, but i still tap him out every time we roll.

I'm 6' 1", my son is 5' 10," his mom is just over 5 foot.

He's always been mad he isn't 6 foot.

5-6 here.

Son is currently 5-7.5 and only 14. We are hoping he makes it to 5-9 or 10. he would be the tallest in the family.

I got my height from my mother's gene pool. My son also got it from the maternal side. I am taller than my dad and my son

I knew a guy in college who was 6" taller than his dad. Exactly the same face so there was no switched at birth going on.

Mine isn’t taller than me yet but is getting there.

He’s probably 3-4” shorter than me but still growing.

My boys aren't full grown yet, but they didn't get my height I don't think.

It's ok, they're smarter and kinder and more well-behaved than I ever was at their age
